There’s a brand new cafe in SF called Stonemill Matcha, and I am so obsessed with it.

Why? Because it’s everything matcha. And you know how much I love matcha lately. =)

My friend Emily and I stopped there for some drinks and desserts. We thought we would try it before it becomes super busy and impossible to get a table there.

We tried a few things, but my ultimate favorite is the Stonemill Cake, a black sesame cake with black sesame frosting then lightly dusted with matcha powder. I was in love with that first bite and can’t wait to go back to try more of their food.

Mother’s Day Brunch Edition

It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday! What do you have planned?

Fried Chicken Benedict over Cream Biscuits

By the way, I had brunch with a friend at Brenda’s French Soul Food and ordered a Fried Chicken Benedict over Cream Biscuits. It’s topped with Creole hollandaise sauce. Seriously, one of the best benedicts I’ve had. Sooo good. If you’re in SF, and you’re craving Southern-style brunch, this is the place to go. Just don’t order the beignets cuz nothing beats Cafe du Monde. =)

Earlier this week, I met up with my friend Emily, from Emily’s Daily, for some much needed brunch time. Both of us have been so busy with work that we haven’t had time for anything else. So we took a couple hours off to catch up.

Raw Sugar Factory

We decided to eat at a newish brunch place called Raw Sugar Factory because they had green tea french toast on the menu. We’re both obsessed with matcha green tea. And oh my gosh, their drink menu! Guava mimosa, lychee mimosa, lychee iced tea, just to name a few. And that giant hash brown! So crispy, just the way I like it.

I’ve been a little obsessed with these bicolor croissants. They’re a little pricy so I don’t order them often, but since last weekend was Lunar New Year weekend, I thought it would be perfect for a special occasion. Aren’t these so gorgeous?

Croissants

The red one is filled with kumquat cream. The purple one is filled with ube mochi and red bean. And the green croissant is pandan coconut. They were all soo delicious and unique.

My cousin is getting married in March, and this past weekend she gave us our bridesmaid’s gifts. Almost everything is homemade. She included bath bombs and sugar scrubs all of which are handmade.

In other news, I know we just started 2018, but I can already tell you that there have been a few dishes over these last few days that will end up on the 2018 recipe fails post in December.

I can’t believe that it’s just days away from Christmas!

I’m finally done with my Christmas shopping, but the living room is a huge mess. I have wrapping papers and open boxes everywhere. But I seriously need to finish wrapping all the gifts. Some times I get a little lazy so I just wrap gifts in tissue paper and place them in gift bags.

Are you done with your Christmas shopping? Or are you still waiting on a few more items?

My sister and I went to the Museum of Ice Cream the other day. We were both so excited since we heard so much about it prior to going. As fun as it was, I kind of expected more from it. Probably because of all the hype.

But here are some photos from the Museum of Ice Cream. We got to try different types of ice cream and got a brain freeze. I think my favorite was the sprinkle pool. I found sprinkles in my pockets, socks, and everywhere possible.
